    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, we have been told that we can discuss anything important. As I rise to second, the first thing that I wanted to agree with you on is with regard to the previous Motion that we have just dispensed with. It was about how our farmers are suffering. This is true. I was given a story of how in the last regime, a Cabinet Secretary would get investors and keep them waiting in different rooms, but because he also wanted to engage in the same business, he would move from one room to another until he got the best prices for his produce. That is when they would agree. I agree that if we take those proposals seriously, our farmers will be happy. I take this opportunity to also thank the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the good work that he and his team have done. I have been summoned before the Committee on several occasions. I admit that this Committee has pledged to listen to proposals from chairpersons of various committees, and they take our input into consideration when we make amendments while coming up with our budgets. I thank the Chairperson for the good work that he is doing. As it was said, as young as you are in only your second term in Parliament, you currently hold a senior position in a very important Committee. You and your Committee are doing a good job."
